this is now the fun with frank thread
Late reply butā¦
A āfixā for it is to just lightly hit it with a heat gun and it vanishes, like magic.
comes from slight deformation of the plastic prying it off the bed when itās ātoo stuckā you can just bend a part and get the discoloration.

@Tamatoa I htink you said youād pay $15 shipping? I can chip in another $15 and we can just buy a midnight puck replacement shell to send to @Venom121212.
Iām assuming they are the same as the bamboo shell shape wise though.

I feel like heād need the PCB to get even better results in shrinking the shell. Iām down to send him my Puck if thatās the case and I can cover shipping. It is I who has the tiny bitch hands anyways

That is correct. Such gears are not standard, they are almost always designed for purpose and drive geometry, resulting in a custom tooth shape.

I said 10$ you crook.
The bamboos insides are a bit different than the plastic one.

But @jujo, there is not much room inside the shell, at least in the plastic one. I donāt know if there is enough material to shave off so it would be smaller.

Might as just print larger hands

All cad modeling of helical power transmission Iāve used have a pretty standard profile thatās just made up by formulae related to overall size constraints. Or is the formula-based what you mean by custom?

Often times even those drawings will then be adjusted/optimized by the manufacturer depending on their tooling setups.
The point being is that helical/herringbone are almost always custom by the time you reach end-product, and lack the same sets of constraints that straight gears have due to their inherent complexity. Even a āmod2.5 helical gear profileā can have 4-5 other completely distinct physical attributes.
Source: I just went through design >> manufacturing both Helical & Herringbone gears for a client.

He was a crook whoās schemes netted him him the loss of $15.00 and an incorrect cad model. he was a bad crook. but a crook none the less.
interesting. whatās the diff? itās still the same board mounted in there I assume?

When I went through a mech course, an instructor told me herringbones were essentially āmatedā meaning itās not optimal to mismatch gears because each gear has itās corresponding gear that itās made to be paired with. And how thereās a standardized system such as HTD but nothing for herringbones? Is that true?

I was joking dude, I will shim in with you. Iād rather have a bamboo one tho but 100$ ouch.

Its all true.
Trampa is better of claiming that the gears are custom designed because thatās what they are. you could send the same spec gear to 5 different gear manufacturers and theyll probably be slightly different.
Even more so with herringbonesā¦

Iāve put in my order but since I also ordered a wand case as they are outta stock Iām stuck waiting for both and canāt ride. Was thinking of a alternative I could use for a week.

Yeah. I was joking too. but I thought you were saying the bamboo was different enough that this wouldnāt work. but if it does, letās take this all to a DM with @Venom121212
